    Default Easy money?

    What is one of the faster ways to make money doing something really straightforward? like just grinding a particular item i can sell? I like to do yews, but because everyone does them, i wonder if there is a faster money maker?

    I haven't found Yews to be fast at all since free trade came back. All the good locations are over run with bots. I've been doing Clay lately on my army. It's not that fast, but it adds up, but I suppose you could say the same about Yews.

    Iv'e switched over to mining iron ore with my army. I found that woodcutting simply doesn't cut it anymore for making money, and unfortunately fishing is heading in the same direction.

    I run 3 MSI's of 2 player each doing rimmington iron 1(least crowded) per night, aswell as a karamja fisher or two. I might switch to coal when my army has mining levels aroung 60-70, I'm not sure yet.

    I should try that out. I've always found Rimmington Iron 1 to be crowded. How many ores to you get per night on average?

    If you need a quick few 100k's, buy broken pieces of Torag armor, repair them at someone's POH, then resell. Takes capital and not good long-term, but good when you need that extra bit of cash.

    In terms of botting, there can be no such thing as a good long-term money maker. When a good way to bot money is discovered, it is botted by everyone capable; the price of the item drops, and it no longer becomes profitable to bot.
    Long ago, the '90s Nicktoons lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the century turned. Only Avatar, the best of the 2000's Nicktoons, could save them. But when the channel needed it most, the show finished. Four years passed and Mike and Bryan created the new Avatar: Legend of Korra. And although the show itself is great, it has a long way to go before it can live up to The Last Airbender. But I believe Korra can save Nickelodeon.

    It doesn't even need to be a fast money maker in comparison to other things. I have 1 bot that I'm using. and my wc is 73, while my mining is 60, which is why i did yews. But if mining a particular ore will net me more money, which would it be? I used to think that doing like, cow hides then turning that into leather would be profitable, but idk about any bots for that, and i feel like it wouldnt pay out.

    I think you're just quite limited in the free worlds.

    first i did smitting, but since yesterday all the prices of bars dropped, so there is no profit for me in it. atm busy with tanning but also that is not really a money maker because they are hard to sell in my eyes.

    clay softening is the best way to make money in my eyes. (or mining it)

    I don't even try mining/wc anymore, or any other skill where another user will effect your outcome. Fishing is nice because of this, but the price isn't as high as it used to be, but it still can make decent profit without too much work.

    If i can find a decent lobster fisher, i suppose that would work, though it might be too slow. My overall goal is to give it to my other account, then pk with it. So lobsters would be useful for food, and it would take out the need for buying them. The only thing is if i could make a faster enough profit in something else to buy the lobsters instead.

    Fishing is such crap money, its a waste of time unless your pretty high (level 75+). Even then your only talking like 40-50k an hour (last time i checked).

    Collecting Mort Myre Fungi is good IF you have a kharyll(Canifis) portal in your house, and an alter.

    I usually get somewhere between 500-2.5k iron a night per player. It varies a lot depending on if one of the chars gets stuck in a random, how crowded it is, the mining levels of the char, and how good my connection is overnight. It's also fairly good for training mining, small army of 7 bots with 65+ mining now after a week.

    You might look into harpoon-buying. It's a fairly long walk from the fishing shop in Port Sarim to Falador/Draynor, but they have a default stock of 1,000 harpoons (for making Ibis pouches in Summoning) that sell in the GE for lower to mid 200's if I'm not mistaken. But like I said, you're very limited in free worlds.

    Best way to make money in ftp Imo is by killing hill giants.

    Really? I heard the all hill giants are super over populated, so no one makes any money at all?

    well i was planning on cooking the lobster, but if i can sell the raw lobs for over 100 and buy cooked ones for 70 something, i could totally do that! I've been doing it for almost 9 hours now, and ive got 1500ish. Not very good money wise, now that im doing it (20k an hour). But it seems to work better than yews, because ill come back and find it logged out and that it only cut 100.

    Im a little bit split between trying to make money and trying to macro my skills until i get banned.

    If you take the time to get 15 (?) Dung, you can go in the resource dungeon, and there's hardly ever anyone there. Usually 1 or 2 other people tops, and IIRC a dozen Giants.
    Long ago, the '90s Nicktoons lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the century turned. Only Avatar, the best of the 2000's Nicktoons, could save them. But when the channel needed it most, the show finished. Four years passed and Mike and Bryan created the new Avatar: Legend of Korra. And although the show itself is great, it has a long way to go before it can live up to The Last Airbender. But I believe Korra can save Nickelodeon.

    You could make pie shells by buying redberry pies and pastry dough. Then just eat the pies and fill them with the dough and sell the pie shells. A script for this would be super easy to throw together if you don't want to do it legit.
